wide world.

Standard

one kinder who has created his own atlas

teaches another

about the world he’s discovered

by reading books.

and the Dinos are standing by too

just taking it all in. 

“the wide world is all about you:

you can fence yourselves in,

but you cannot forever fence it out.”

-j. r. r. tolkien

inclusion.

Standard

the kinders made a wonderful house for rocket the turtle,

with many rooms and spaces,

including his very own garden and library.

 

“until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things,

man will not himself find peace.”

-albert schweitzer

light and shadows.

Standard

kinders write by candlelight

find their own shadows

make a tiger on the ceiling.

“find beauty not only in the thing itself

but in the pattern of the shadows,

the light and dark which that thing provides.”

-junichiro tanizaki
